Well, hot on the heels of official denial from Capcom about the rumoured buy out by Nintendo, another 'Megaton' rumour arrives to fill the void.

Exclusive details: Secret Nintendo technical announcement looms for CES 24th Dec 2002
Nintendo
Megaton rears up again as new disc technology emerges
In a report filed in US Intensity Magazine, it appears that Nintendo Japan is poised to make a major technological announcement at next year’s Consumer Electronics Show, (CES), due to take place in Las Vegas between the 9th and 10th of January.
Although nothing was revealed as the content of this announcement, speculation is growing that this will comprise at least part of the now infamous Megaton Announcement, which thus far has proved highly illusive.
However, we can reveal that this announcement is likely to be in relation to a new form of disc based data storage, which is in development at the moment.
According to reports from Japan today, Matsushita, the firm that partnered Nintendo on certain aspects of development for GameCube, is working in conjunction with Osaka University, (just round the corner from Capcom’s HQ funnily enough) to release a disc-based data storage medium capable of holding up to 15 terabytes of data. That’s 300 bigger than a DVD folks!
We believe that Nintendo will announce a working name for its future console at CES and that this will make up at least part of the machine’s integral DNA.
Expect more soon, and remember where you saw this first…

15 F***ING Terabytes?
Thats about every PS2 game and all your favourite PS1 games on one disk!
(Not that you'd want them again..)
But really! Amazing achievement but who in the near future will need that amount of space for a console game?
'A' for effort though!
